Extension for a SD card? Does it exist?

I am thinking of purchasing a DVR blackbox recording system. It has a SD card slot on the side of it. In order to view the footage, you have to take it out of the slot and put into a PC. Issue is this blackbox hangs from the windshield and taking the SD card out all the time is going to be a hassle.

Is there a way I can extend the port with some type of extension cable? I tried Binging one and it doesnt seem to exist. Would it be hard to make one?

you just want an extension cable or something that connects the blackbox to the pc?

No, I want an extension for the SD card port. So say for example the SD card use to be put into the side of the black box as usual. Instead I would like to extend that port so the SD card now plugs into a port that I say build into the center console. If I want to get the footage I have easy access to the card and bring it inside to edit and upload to you tube.

99% sure the spec says up to 3FT...so that should be enough to put it somewhere convienient. Cool idea doing the manual extension...and +1 for the twisted pair cable...just keep signal, clock and vcc+ground separate.

Yea I am only going to use like 1 foot. I am most def doing it myself. The people that make one want $80 to $150 bucks. Thats crazy. This will cost me 20 bucks if I do it on my own.
